Worldwide are known especially two of his songs:

  • "Captain Bobby Stout" was covered by the Manfred Mann's Earth Band on their successful first record Manfred Mann's Earth Band. "Captain Bobby Stout" was taken as the only song of the record in the later concert setlist of the band.
  • "Martha's Madmen", a song that was released on the most successful record of Earth Band, Watch, and delivered the band a decades-long concert classic.

    • Early in his career, he created the songs for the folk band Serfs, for which he also played guitar. The Serfs were particularly successful in the area of their Kansas home and its neighboring states. 44 years later, in 2009, they are included in the Kansas Music Hall of Fame.

    In 1970 Jerry Hahn with his blues-jazz-rock-band The Jerry Hahn Brotherhood with the musicians Mike Finnigan, Clyde Graves and George Marsh took seven songs from Tietgen, including "Captain Bobby Stout" and "Martha's Madmen", on their homonymous record.

    In 1994, Ringo Starr took Tietgen's song "Red and Black Blues" as a bonus song on his CD Stop and Smell the Roses.

    Tietgen regularly performs live as a folk singer and guitarist in music venues.

    In 2006 Ice Cube used a melody by Tietgen for his song "Click, Clack - Get Back!" on the CD Laugh Now, Cry Later

    In 2009 Tietgen released his record Wheels of Fortune with exclusively own songs.
